Lakes
Croatia has no large lakes (the largest, Vrana, near Biograd has an area of 30 km2. The most atractive are:
- the Plitvice Lakes (a chain of 16 lakes with the river Korana as the effluent)
- the Red and Blue Lakes near Imotski (unique karst phenomena),
- a cryptodepression Vrana on the island of Cres,
- freshwater lake Vrana,
- and lake Prokljan (along the Krka river near Šibenik).
The best know man-made lakes are:
- Lokve and Bajer in Gorski Kotar,
- Trakošćan in Hrvatsko Zagorje and
- Peruča along the river Cetina in Dalmatia.
Lake Kopačevo and the surrounding swamp forests in Baranja are a major hatching ground and bird habitat.
